To Remember To

What are your smiling eyes collecting
Mirrors of the sun reflecting it's projections
And what your folks adore and boast of
Will grow your children tall and most of
The stories that you tell will spell my love

Bridges may collapse and soak you
Autumn's piles of leaves may provoke you to feel blue
And bugs you'll never know will fracture
They will decompose in loving rapture
But they won't say a word when thanking you
And I will do my best to remember to

I'll sing you every song with the intention
You'll tape record the tune and mention
My inventions aren't all fiction
And tell to those you teach
Fair warning -
You'll never have a night without a morning

Go back to sleep my dear
Put your head on my arm
For if I can't be near
I'll keep you from harm my dear, my dear

I may journey long
Where feathers could grow on trees
But know I will stay warm
A fire deep inside a freeze, a freeze
